" THE SUN" CONTINUES TO PUBLISH THE EXTRAORDINARY EDITION, by an old law ? New and extraordinary Courts to carry an old law into execution, would be justly condemned. To have recourse to the old Jury Courts would be a mockery of justice. Either they would be composed of the English party, and be sure to convict and sentence every one of the French party to death, causing every execution to be regarded by the French party as an act of brutal, cold-blooded murder; or they would be composed of the French population, and, pronouncing men innocent in spite of evidence, would make the law a mere mockery, and add the general habit of per jury to the practice of rebellion. We do not say Lord DURHAM'S proclamation may not be despotic, but it must be tried by its adaptation to circumstances ; and rigid despotism may be the most suitable temporary means of ensuring justice among quarrelling factions. We pronounce no posi tive opinion on the wisdom of Lord DURHAM'S con duct, because we have not sufficient facts before us to form a judgment of it ; but it is a strong recommendation of it that it has pleased and satisfied the English party in Canada, and has not affronted and outraged the French party. As far as we have heard, Mr. WOLFRED NELSON and his friends do not complain of their exile, and as far as we see that may be the sure means of saving their lives, and of restoring them at no distant day to their country. The proclamation is not to be eternal. Though to set them now at liberty and allow them to reside in Canada would provoke another war ; it does not follow that they are never to be allowed to return. To bring them to trial might be to carry them to execution, or ensure them a triumph ; to banish them, then, spares their lives, allows them an opportunity to reflect, and enables the Govern ment at no distant day to restore them, if they prove themselves worthy of forgivenesss, to their homes and their friends. In a few years, when the present heats are allayed, and when the present contests are for gotten, those who now thirst for their blood will be among the foremost to rejoice that Lord DURHAM abstracted them from vengeance, placed them in safety, and gave them the means of recovering, by repentance, their lost place in society. There is no class of offences on which, when a revulsion of feeling takes place, men look with so much leniency as political offences ; and no punishments are so much condemned by posterity as the cruel punishments for what is called treason. The traitors of one age, very often become the time-honoured martyrs of another. Believing that the banishment of these men from Canada, is not done wholly in defiance of their wishes, hoping that it may be only temporary, and in tended to allow time for the animosities on both sides to die away, trusting that it will have that effect and here after be the theme of universal praise, we cannot disapprove of it because it is said to be despotic, illegal, and carried into execution wanting some ordinary forma lities. Substantially, it appears to us to be just and wise— appropriate to the circumstances—and likely, we hope, to be beneficial to the Colony. While it provides for the present peace of the Colony, it does not, by a sanguinary execution shut the door to repentance and reconciliation against either the Government or the people. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER made an elabo rate and ingenious speech last night on the subject of the Pension List, the chief aim of which was, we presume, to perplex and mystify ; and, if so, never was there a set Par liamentary oration that more happily accomplished its ob ject. Where argument was felt to bo deficient, pathos was had recourse to ; and when this had been wrought out to the utmost, then came a small infusion of drollery, agree ably mixed up with honied compliments to the Committee, and certain clap-trap appeals to the sense, justice, delicacy, and so forth, of the House. The Right Hon. Gentleman dwelt with peculiar emphasis on some of the minor pen sions, and the services for which they had been granted ; but made not the slightest allusion to some of the larger and more notorious ones. Like a clever special pleader, he slurred over, or kept wholly, out of sight, all that militated—or even appeared to mili tate—against his own view of the case. The House heard nothing but that which was most likely to influence its de cision in favour of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S sentiments. According to him, never had an innocent public been so duped, as upon the subject of the Pension List. Saving and excepting a few instances touched on with the most exquisite Ministerial delicacy, in such dis creet terms as, T it was true that some pensions could not be strictly said to have been granted in re- turn for the services mentioned," never was there a more de serving orimmaculate fraternity than that of the Pensioners! In justification of this statement the Right Honourable Gentleman read several letters in which the writers—for the most part widows—explained why, and when, they re ceived their quarterly payments from the Treasury. Among these communications was one from the daughter of the late General CAREY, which is a model of generous and elevated feeling, and made—as it deserved to do—a profound impression on the House. Mr. SPRING RICE read this document with an air of con siderable triumph—just as if that were a grant that could, by any possibility, be objected to—as if, in fact, it were a complete answer to the charge, that the Pension-list was not what it should be. Now, he must know, quite as well as we can tell him, that this is a mere begging of the question—a dexterous sophism, meant only to bewilder and lead astray. The Reformers do not com plain that meritorious public servants have been rewarded with small pensions, but that the unworthy have been rewarded with large ones. This is the gravamen of the charge, and to this we have as yet seen no ade quate reply. Why is it that we are so tenacious on this point, and refuse to be convinced by the logic of the Ministerial charmer, " charm he never so wisely ?" Because the question is one of paramount importance, and is not to be disposed of by a few adroit sophistries and do quent generalities. Purge the Pension List of all those who have no business there—and many, notwithstanding Mr. RlcE's vague disclaimer, are still snugly hived in that honeycomb—and the opportunities of befriend.. ing worth and talent will be increased, and an ad ditional stimulus be thereby held out to honest exer tions. That much good has been done by the Pen sion List Inquiry, we presume not for an instant to doubt, but at least twice as much yet ramains to be ac complished. The inquiry has been strict enough in som e cases, but over-lax, we suspect, in others ; but if not, if every individual case has been thoroughly sifted—then how cruelly, how wickedly have those injured innocents, the PITT, PERCIVAL, and LIVERPOOL Administrations been wronged in public opinion! Among the subjects which occupied the attention of the House of Lords last night, were the Juvenile Offenders Bill and the Custody of Infants' Bill. Both these mea sures, though divested of political interest, are of the highest importance in a moral point of view. To the eontamina- tion which is the necessary consequence of the present practice of indiscriminately huddling together in one prison offenders of all ages and descriptions, is to be traced much of the crime which unfortunately prevails. A proper clas sification of the violators of the law, is, therefore, the first thing to be provided for. But the juvenile de!inquent, new, perhaps to vicious courses, must not merely be separated from the society of the old and incorrigible criminal ; he must be subjected also to such moral and religious discipline as may win him back to the paths of virtue, and render him a useful member of society. This is the obj'ct of the first of the Bills to which we have al luded. It appears, however, that there are defects in it which must be amended before it can be allowed to pass into a law. As it now stands, the Governor of a prison may inflict corporal punishment ad libitum on a juvenile offender. This is much too important a matter to be left to any one man's discretion. Such a power is ex ceedingly liable to abuse, and must, therefore, be restricted. It is also a sine qua 7101 i that such prisons should he open at all reasonable times to the inspection of the Magistracy. We have a horror of secrecy in the management of prisons whether for the young or the old, but when secrecy is combined with the delegation of ar bitrary power to the manager, the prison becomes a Bastile. The third reading of the Bill, it will be seen, was post poned until the necessary amendments should be considered. The Custody of Infants' Bill was thrown out on the motion of Lord BROUGHAM ; and it is impossible to per use the speech of the Noble and Learned Lord without icing satisflei that this was the fate whir.th it deserved. The High Church party in this country, who rail loudest against Popery, and who protest the mo s t aga i ns t any grant of money for the education of Catholics, have, after all, ' more of the real spirit of the Catholic Church than any other sect ; and if we are again to be afflicted with the evils supposed to belong peculiarly to the Roman Catholic faith, these will come, not from the increase of Catholic Chapels, supported by the voluntary system, but from the high pretensions of the Church herself. These pretensions put forth by some of the heads of the Church, and many of the Clergy lately, ought to give rise to serious alarm in all who wish to see the law obeyed—the State, more powerful than the Church, or the principles of liberty uncontaminated by priestly domination.. We regard the Bishop of EXETER as a perfect model for a Prelate of the Catholic Church as it once existed in Eng land. In his famous charge to the Clergy of his Diocese, some years ago, he seemed more Catholic than Protestant, and dwelt with as much satisfaction on the duty of con fession, and the power of the Clergy to grant absolution, as ever did any true son of Mother Church. Since then he has repeatedly announced his determination to resist the law, for the good Popish reason, that the divine right of Bishops is superior to any authority founded on Acts passed by frail erring men. The Clergy of a Diocese in the North last year put forth similar pretensions, and this year we find the clergy of Scarborough and the neighbourhood laying down rules, with regard to baptism and burial, at utter variance with the spirit and meaning of an Act passed last Session. To crown all this we find the works of a Protestant clergyman have been published under the direction of a Principal of a College in Oxford, in which the Rev. Gentleman avows that he is every day becoming a less and less loyal son of the Reformation—that in mat ters indifferent, or even doubtful, we ought to conform our practices to those of the Church which has preserved its traditionary practices unknown, and stigmatises as in judicious those foolish people who talk against Roman Catholics for worshipping Saints and honouring the Virgin and images. These certainly are signs of the times —signs of the Church setting itself up against the State, and thereby leading to those illegal practices which dis tinguished the reign of the two last STUARTS, and which finally drove that family from the throne. It is time for the Dissenters to look to this—and not the Dissenters only, but every friend of freedom and every friend of the true Re formed Church—lest there should be established a domi nion as galling and as destructive to real liberty as that so long possessed by the Church of Rome. We confidently look forward to the time when the frequenters of Exeter ball will find other employment than railing a ga i ns t o ld PETER DENS and DANIEL O'CONNELL. The Catholics now are comparatively harmless. Another party has sprung up, with vast wealth and vast power, who possess many of the bad qualities of the ancient Catholic churchmen, and who seem, both in precept and practice, to follow their baneful example. Our Morning Contemporary, the Post, has published, in a second edition, advices from Lisbon of the 24th instant. The election of Senators and Deputies to the Cortes is appointed for the 12th of August, and as the ordinary Ses sion is fixed by law for the 2d of January, it Is presumed that the Government proposes to summon an extraordinary Session to take measures for supplying the demands made upon an exhausted Treasury. It appears that one-fourth of the taxes voted by the last Cortes cannot be collected ; whilst the high rate of the Tariff has all but led to the adoption of a regular system of smuggling, to the great injury of the commercial relations of the country. In the South, the MIGUELITE chieftains, REMECHIO and BAIVA, continue to keep alive the flames of civil discord. The following paragraph, prefixed to the Lisbon correspondence of the Post is of considerable mercantile importance : We learn from our correspondent at Falmouth that an order has been sgnt down from the Admiralty to Captain Plumridge, the Naral Super. intendent at that port, instructing him to direct that the packets are for the future not to take on board any specie at Vera Cruz or Tampico on merchants' account during the continuance of the French blockade. This will be a serious affair for the mining and mercantile interest in this country, should the differences between the twu Powers remain unsettled for any lengthened period. The Paris Journals of Sunday are principally occupied with accounts of the commencement of the celebration of the " three glorious days." From the following extract from the Moniteur Parisien, a Ministerial Paper, it would appear that some of the more ardent Republicans are likely to be provided, at the charge of the Government, with time and accommodation for reflecting upon the part which they have already taken in the celebration of the Revo lutionary fete : " While the souvenirs of the revolution were thus honoured by the population, a strange scene was passing at the Louvre. At about a quarter to twelve a band, consisting chiefly of journeyman tailors, had repaired to the tombs of the victims of July. There one of them be. gan delivering a speech, the incendiary terms of which were so insult. ing to the King's person that a Police Commissioner deemed it his duty to arrest the orator. His companions having attempted to rescue hi m , the town.sergeants and some soldiers were engaged in a melee, the result of which was the apprehension of half -a-dozen persons. " The Police-Commissioner was wounded in the head with a stick. " The rioters have been given over to the Procureur du Roi. " P.S.—The gathering which had already caused a disturbance near the Louvre tombs, having arrived near the tombs of the Grenelle bridge, the interference of the police was again required. Incendiary language having been held, the Mayor of Grenelle, with a detachment of the National Guard, was obliged to summon the band to disperse, which was done." On Thursday evening last the police succeeded in dis covering a Republican plot, said to have for its object the assassination of the KING of the FRENCH. Seven unfor tunate wretches were seized and cast into prison, on a charge of making bullets, including an engraver named RABAN and his wife. For ourselves we are persuaded that two-thirds of the plots discovered are the work of the po lice themselves, by whom they are hatched and brought to full maturity. Their object is evident—to show them. selves in some way useful to the Government. The latest advices from Madrid are of the 22d, but the intelligence they bring is unimportant. No recent dis patches had been received from ESPARTERO, and the ru mours about a change of Ministry were neither wholly nor - Iti part confirmed. It was currently reported, and believed in several quarters, that ESPARTERO had sent in his resig. nation, but we cannot see any probability of its truth. The Messager's correspondence from Estella, of the 21st, says—" To. day the Governors of Manera, and of Fort Santa Barbara de Manera, have been shot. Fifteen other persons implicated in a plot, detected by General Maroto, have also been executed." The liberal Sentinelle des Pyrenees mention the occurrence in the following terms:—" A conspiracy has just been discovered at Estella. The blood of 17 victims has again been shed to the glory of the Absolutist cause. Not content with striking the individuals suspected of having participated in the plot, Maroto has not shrank from sacrificing a young woman, the daughter of the Commandant of Guemble. Officers, peasants, a father and his daughter have been included in this atrocious butchery." ---- --- Mr. Isaac L. Goldsmid had the honour to entertain at dinner on Friday last, at his villa at a Regent's.park, his Highness Prince Schwartzenberg, his Highness Prince Furstenberg, the Ministers of America, Spain, and Belgium, the Duke of Leinster, Lord Brougham, Sir Robert Adair, the Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, and several learned Professors and other gentlemen, who were highly delighted with the extraordinary powers of memory and calculation which were evinced respectively by the two youths Mode. and MangeamelC, the former answering with readiness and accuracy almost every question relating to every branch of study, the latter solving by a mental process the most difficult algebraical problems, and in not a quarter of the time usually taken for questions of that description. Some of the party remained till long after midnight, deeply interested bi_lhe evening's amusement. The Professor of the University College was - one of the compossy, and successfully exhibited the new discovery of freezing quick. silver by the means of carbonic acid. The Marquis of Anglesey, who is at present cruis ing off the southern coast in his yacht, the Pearl, is again on the eve of proceeding to the continent, where he will pass the antumn and winter, accompanied by the Marchioness and his unmarried daughters, the Ladies Mary and Adelaide Paget. The late residence of Marshal Soult, in Portland p!acewill be given up to the proprietor, Lord de Manley, this day or to morrow. The Marshal and suite were expected to arrive at Calais in the Meteore Government steam-packet yesterday evening, and, as his Excellency intended to travel all night, he would arrive at his hote in the French capital at a late hour last evening.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 31, 1838 BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John Bailey, described as a harp maker, residing at Lambeth, and Itichard!ways, a baker, were charged on suspicion by Wm. Hamlyn, a butcher, of Lombard-court, Seven Dials, with stealing 401 b. of beef. The prosecutor stated that about three o'clock on Sunday morning he was aroused from his bed in consequence of hearing a number of ducks which he had in his yard disturbed. He immediately gave an alarm on seeing the prisoner Bailey and two others make their escape over the wall, and on going to ascertain what had been taken away he found all the ducks stowed into a basket ready to be conveyed over the wall. Having then no means of going in pursuit of the thieves, he made a further search, and discovered that the beef in question had been removed previous to his being alarmed. He shortly after gave a description of Bailey to the policeman, and he was appre hended about two hours after, standing in company with the other pri soner, at the corner of the street. The prisoners declared their innocence, and that they could give satisfactory proof where they had been at the time in question. They were ordered to be brought up again on Friday next. Margaret Egerton, a miserable looking object was brought up by Kitimat), of the F division, charged with being drunk, and throwing her maleinfant out of a second floor window in Charles-street,Drury-lane. The Constable stated that while on duty last night at nine o'clock, opposite -12, Charles-street, he saw something crash on the carriage way pavement, and directly there was a cry from several persons, that the child was killed. He hurried up stairs and finding no person in the room, he returned into the street, were he was informed by a man, who would be forthcoming, of the circumstance, and who said he saw the wretch throw the infant into the street. An intelligent little girl, the daughter of a police-constable, was pro duced, and in answer to questions by Sir F. Roe, she said she had been at a Teetotal meeting in the window of the opposite house, and she dis. tinctly saw the prisoner, who appeared in a passion and talking to another person in the room, dash the infant out of the window. Kirkman said that the child seemed lifeless when it was lifted from the pavement, and he had it conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital. Sir F. Rog ordered the prisoner to be remanded for a week, and she was removed from the Bar demanding that the child should be re stored to her.

WITH WHICH THE “ TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1838. The recent ordinances issued by Lord DURHAM in Ca nada, were the subject of rather a smart discussion in the House of Lords last night, and are, of course, somewhat vehemently denounced by the Tory journals this morning. We are, however, rather surprised to find the Herald ob jecting to them, that Lord DURHAM'S conduct is illegal, for that journal loads its columns almost every day with severe and just zondemnations of the law. It was not only the foremost in demanding, in the case of the man RICKEY, as it has demanded in many other similar cases, that the law should not be carried into execution, but it succeeded in its demands. RICKEY is not to be executed, according to his sentence and according to law. Why does the Herald so act ? Because the Herald knows, and the He/ ald has taught the public, that the law, which it coademns Lord DURHAM for violating, may be and is barbarete, cruel, and sanguinary. Its own daily lan guage and its own daily acts should teach it that it is pos sible well to serve the cause of humanity and the cause of justice by acting illegally, or by setting aside the law. Let us quote another case to illustrate this point. The Tithe-law yet exists in all the force awl all the majesty of statutory enaztmews in Ireland. Courts to enforce it with all the paraphernalia of Sheriffs, writs, and process-ser vers are there ; but all parties aeree that it would be im politic to attempt, and quite impossible to carry the law into execution. Humanity and justice recoil with horror from the repetitio n of Rathcormac slaughters, which would be the unavoidable consequence of attempting to enforce the Tithe-law in Ireland. It does not, therefore, necessarily follow that Lord DURHA M is to be condemned, because he has set aside the law. If, indeed, the law were at all times the written guarantee to the peopl e that their rulers should act wisely, justly, and humanely, it would be at once a condemnation for them, that they had acted Lie gaily. If, however, the law be a contrivance, as in many ca-es it is, by which rulers may more securely govern, an d o ppress the people, it may he rather an ht flour than a reproach to affirm of any ruler, that he his set aside the lw r. Lord DURHAM'S conduct, therefore, must be tried by a higher criterion than the mere test of its legality ; and if it be found consistent with humanity, we will not say that it is unwise, because it is not according to law. What then are the circumstances of Canada ? WhY• up to a recent period the law has been enforced. Unde r i ts name, and by its meane, the two parties there carried on their contests, and mutually insulted, in- Urea, ant outraged each other, till the law was altogether set aside by rebellion, and was found to be wholly inadequate to preserve the peace of society. Is Lord DuettAm, in spite of experience, only to use that instrument which, pre cisely, in the case of Canad a as in Ireland, has been found totally inefficient or even mischievous ? How is he to carry the law there into execution? Is he to have juries or Prevotal Courts to try those whose offences were defined LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY DEAL, JULY 30.—Wind moderate.—Arrived, and proceeded for the River, the Duke of Norfolk, Laws, from St. Kitts ; Mexbro, Living stone, from Grenada ; Janet Willis, Willis, from Demerara ; the Adelaide, Adamson, from Hanover ; the Falconer, Winsor, from Matanzas ; Britannia, from Quebec; the Royal Tar (steamer), from Gibraltar, left the 20th inst., Lisbon, the 24th, Oporto, the 25th, and Vigo the 26th ; the Columbus, Sainthill. from Jamaica.

The arrivals this morning are French and Hamburgh mails; also a mail from Malta, by the Royal Tar, sailed the 28th of June, Gibraltar 20th July, Cadiz 20th July, Lisbon 24th July, Oporto 2ith July, Vigo 26th July. We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the 20th July. (From the above Papers.) " A very smart shock of an earthquake was experienced about a quarter before twelve, which lasted somewhat longer than a quarter of a minute, or perhaps half a minute. Hundreds left their dwellings, and, as I understand, passed the remainder of the night in the Alameda." EXTRACT OF ♦ Lerrsta FROM ST. ROGUR.—" Since receiving the above we have been infurmed that a similar shock had been felt by some persons in the garrison at the same hour." We have received Malta papers to the 12th of July, they are void of news. We have received Greek papers to the 29th of June, which state that tranquilly prevails throughout the whole of the kingdom. Accounts received from Valparaiso of the end of April state that the French frigate Venus and the corvette Arcane:were in the roads; the Andromede was at Callao, and only had three or four hundred men on board. The Chilian expedition, composed of five ships, left on the 17th to blockade Callao, and they only had three or four hundred men on board. It is believed that the war will not be of long duration. The Great Western steamer has been spoken with on the 24th inst. in long. 17.; it appears she has made great progress. We have received the Lisbon papers to the 24th July; there is no political news in them of importance. The tumult which took place at Braga on account 'of taxes has been put down. All was tranquil at Lisbon. (Extract from the Lisbon Papers.) On the 10th July a tumult took place in Braga, caused by the opposi. lion of the people to the payment of taxes, but the Baron Almargem being on the spot at the head of 300 men, the tumult was immediately put down, the people returning to their houses. The Baron left 200 men to garrison the city. The Government has fixed the election of Members to the Conies to take place before the middle of August. The only arrival of importance this morning is a Lisbon mall. The information received by the private accounts state that some serious event is expected in the above capital—not less than deposing the Queen, and appointing a Regency—establishing Donna Maria at the head, and proclaiming the Constitution of 1820.

They arc determined that their voice shall be heard, and that to them in after times no blame should be awarded for holding back when their efforts were necessary. It would be well that other counties imitated the example so well laid before them by Kilkenny, and gave expression to their feeling on this all-important subject. Our own county h as not done its duty effectually—will it re main supine ? Waterford Chronicle. - • INGENIOUS INVENTION. Mr, J. Duncan, watchmaker, at Glenluce, has lately constructed a small steam-engine, on the high pressure principle, the novelty of which consists in tire acting twice in the cylind er b efore it escapes into the atmosphere, b there is a saving of h a lf the fuel and half the water which a common m (3:ernaw which engine of the same power would require. By the application of the air-pump and condenser it can work on the low pressure with the Caine saving. Some scientific men who have seen the plan, think it admirably adapted for locomotive engines or for vessels making tong voyages.—BeYast Paper. LITERATURE. BRITISH AND POP.E.ION REVIEW. No. XIII. Taylor, London, I,ti; The besetting decct of this Number is d:ttt its articles are too long. That, in particular, on the " Custody of Infants' Bill" is immeasurably tedious—indeed sufficient to fill a volume ; and as the subject has now for the present passed away from the public mind, not. to be revived till next Session, and perhaps not then, we cannot but think that it is a flagrant error of judgment to discuss it at such length. The Reviewer finds all sorts of faults with this Bill ; sees in it the germ of all that is unconstitutional and immoral ; attacks Sergeant Talfourd in no measured tcrms for having presumed to bring forward such a measure ; and hints pretty significantly that under no possible circum stances, is it ever likely, as at present drius n up, to pass into law. If so, why not leave it to its fate ? Why pour forth a whole volume of abuse on a measure which is des tined never to have the opportunity of becoming mischie‘- ous ? We have read the Reviewer's diatribe on this sub ject with some attention, but have neither been persuaded by his argument, nor carried away by his zeal. He is evidently in such a passion throughout his article, that with out knowing much of the merits of the case, we feel strongly tempted to believe that he is altogether in the wrong—and not only this, but that he has himself some misgivings of the sort. " Christian and Pagan Architec ture " is a notice of an elaborate work by the late Mr. Hope, and which, if we remember rightly, was reviewed in the two great Quarterly periodicals some two or three years since. The account of the rise and progress of the classic Schools of Architecture is very neatly and succinctly given, and in a true con amore spirit. The three principal forms are pertinently described as follows :—" If the Doric style had the expression of a great and grave man stead fastly employed on some weighty business, the lonic may be imagined to represent the graces of a lovely woman, who refuses not to heighten by ornament the delicacy cf her light figure. In after times, when the two great races had lost much of their distinctness, and the smaller states had been broken down and amalgamated into larger masses, a third order came into vogue, resulting from a combination of something of the strength and size of the first, with the luxuriant decorations of the second ; and such was the Co rinthian." The Reviewer, after tracing the progress of, what he somewhat vaguely p,alls, " Christian architecture," winds up with speculations on the future improvements that Englishmen may make in this science, observing—for it is plain to see that he is something of an Optimist— " already we think we can trace some germs of a style that may develope the true Christian loftiness and sublimity in a natural and balanced organisation." Where are these much to-be-desiderated germs ? Not in the new buildings of Regent -street ; not in the dandy new Churches that start up, day after day, like mushrooms, in and about the metro polis. There arc certainly a few redeeming points in the Post Office, and a faint plea may be put in for the Custom House ; but when we come to speak of national architee. ture—of a science that is to make England an authority with after-times—it cannot be denied that we are glaringly, we might almost add, hopelessly, deficient. Still, though wanting as a people, in the true sense of architectural grandeur, we have every reason to be satisfied ; for we have achieved triumphs " above all Greek, above all Roman fame." The steam-engine is ours ; the rail-road is ours ; and this last alone may make the famed Appian and Flaminian Ways of Rome hide their diminished heads. Ours, too, is that striking invention, the Suspension Bridge ; and we may point to the master-piece of Telford hung from sea to sea, as an achievement in art which even the Rhodian Colossus never surpassed. " The Rise and Fall of Athens" is a notice of Mr. Bulwer's late publication on this subject. We cannot but think that that gentleman is hardly dealt with, especially in the remarks on his trans lations from the Greek dramatists, which combine poetic grace with all requisite fidelity, in no ordinary degree. To translate, is not to render literally, line for line, and word for word, as old Trapp did with Virgil, and a myriad of scholastic pedants have done with Horace ; but to impart the veritable spirit and character—the genuine racy flavour of the original text—as we find it imparted in Cowley's (not Moore's) Anacreon ; in Chapinan's Homer ; and, coming down to modern times, in Shelley's splendid fragment of Faustus. This Mr. Bulwer has done ; and if here and there he has misappre hended the meaning of some unimportant epithet in Sophocles, why all we shall say is, that he is by no means qualified to become " a word-catcher" and " live on syllables." With the Reviewer's observations on Mitford we wholly agree, and only regret that he did not urge his objections with more emphasis. If comprehensive ness blended with acuteness of mind ; high and rare scholar ship ; equanimity of temper ; grace and dignity of style ; and, aboveall,aready power of sympathizing with the g reat and good ofpast ages—if these qualities be necessary to constitute an historian ; then is Mitford not only a bad one, but one of the worst that ever lived. His learning was of the dryest and most barren kind, inducing no great results ; kindling no enlarged thoughts or emotions ; he wrote about republicans and their institutions in the most jaundiced spirit of Toryism ; and discussed the character of Demos thenes, in just the same candid style that some red-hot Con servative would discuss the character of Lord Brougham. As for his style, it is uniformly heavy and inelegant ; here affecting terseness, and there defaced with cumbrous and un meaning epithets. " The City of the Sultan" passes a just censure on the lavish tropes and metaphors that dazzle or be wilder one in every page of Miss Pardoe's volume. " Lower Canada" is an article in which much useful research is manifested. The remaining notices are of the usual calibre. RIOT AT STOCKHOLM. STocisitout, JULY 20.—His Majesty's health has been good since the bulletin of the 16th. On the 18th, in the morning, the King was in commoded by cramp on the external parts of the :eft breast, which, how. ewer, ceased during the day. Yesterday his Majesty was again well, and though he has not had so quiet a night, he is so well to.day that it may be hoped his recovery proceeds as it hitherto has done. The tranquillity of this capital was again disturbed in a lamentable manner. Yesterday, at noon, on a trifling alarm of fire in the Goth. gotan, a crowd of people collected. The fire was soon extinguished, but it being reported that Crusenstolpe was to be removed to the fortress, the crowd, consisting partly of women, went towards the Town hall. Military precautions were here taken; however. M. Oxenstierna, the Governor ad interim, and Colonel Daewel, succeeding in inducing the mob to disperse. About nine in the evening the mob again col lected, which in the official report of M. Hallberg, published in the State Gazette to.day, is estimated at between 700 and 800, and in the report of Lieutenant Sandels, at 2,000 or 3,000, persons. According to the same official statements, the windows in the Town-hall were broken by stones thrown at them, and the patrols were likewise pelted. The disturbance was first caused by a number of foreign seamen, who were enraged because two of flick comrades had been arrested in the after. noon. They were joined by a number of vagabonds ; the rest were curious spectators. Here and there there were cries of "Crusenstolpe for ever !" " Release him:" &c. As all remonstrances were unavailing, Lieutenant Sande!s, after three successive warnings, which were answered by volleys of stones, gave orders to fire, by which two men were killed, and eight others more or less wounded. Meantime reinforcements arrived, and at one o'clock in the morning tranquillity was perfectly restored, and no fresh disorder took place. At half.past eight this morning Crusenstolpe, accompanied by his wife, who had obtained permission, was transferred from his prison in the Town-hall on board a sloop to the fortress of Haxholm. The people assembied about the Town-hall remained quiet, and Do cries were heard. The State Gazette of to.day his a proc'amation relating to the sub stance of the events of the night, and the two reports above-mentioned are annexed to it.—Hamburgh Paper. NEWSPAPERS USEFUL TO ALL CLASSES.--11l the speech of Mr. W. H. Watts, at the recent dinner of the News paper Press Benevolent Association, that gentleman remarked :—" The wide diffusion of newspapers throughout this great empire sufficiently shows the general estimation in which they are held. To many per sons, indeed, a newspaper has become almost one of the necessaries of life. What a dull day would that be, especially in the metropolis, on which, owing to some extraordinary combination of circumstances, not a single newspaper was to make its appearance. How many derive their own information and amusement—how many derive the means of informing and amusing others, solely from the newspaper I Does a politician wish to know the state of Canada or Spain, or the proceed ings in the Houses of Parliament? He reads the newspaper. Is he a lover of the fine arts, or the drama, or of the concord of sweet sound , ,' eager for information respecting the exhibition, the theatre, or the concert room ? He reads the newsy- per. Ale the ladies—God boss them I —are the ladies curious to ascertain the fashionable parties of the week ? They read the newspaper. In short, almost every human being who can read at all—reads the newspaper." An inquest was held yesterday in the Albany-road, Camberwell, on the body of a woman (name unknown) who was found drowned on Thursday last, in the Surrey Canal, into which it is sup. posed she walked by mistake. In the course of the investigation it came out that, although tha tporticn of the canal is in the neighbour hood of a great thoroughfare, there are no means taken to guard strangers against accidents similar to the above. The jury, upon ex. pressing themselves strongly on this point, returned a verdict of "Foucd Drowned." A young woman named Nathan, residing in Angel court, Strand, threw herself into the river near Waterloo-bridge n Sunday night, in consequence of a quarrel with her sweetheart. Sl:e was rescued by a man named Grady, and conveyed to Charing-cross ilospitaL A party of six young men on Sunday morning last were on a pleasure excursion down the river, and in the net of being towed by a barge; when off Barking, Essex a brig a little distance astern, and to the leeward of the barge, caught a breeze and luffed on to the boat and capsized her, Two of the upfortunate party were drowned, JOINT-STOCK BANKS. The Secret Committee appointed to inquire into the oiler''' tion of the Acts permitting the establishment of Joint stock Banks in England and Ireland, and whether it I" . expedient to make any amendment in the provisions (?f these Acts; and who were empowered to report the mi nutes of evidence taken before them, have considered the su!'ject referred to them, and agreed upon the follovslos Report In their examination of witnesses during the present Sessiort your Committee have avoided any renewed inquiry into the general object referred to them; but they have obtained evil dence upon three very important questions which were net included in the proceedings cf the last Session. 1. The country branches of the Bank of England. thcis system of Government, and the principles on which they ale conducted. 2. The system of advances at three pt. cent. from the Bank of England to banks undertaking to circulate Bank o f England paper in place of the paper of joint.stock and private banks. 3. The question of the Bank of Ireland, the exclusive vileges of that Corporation, and the expediency or inexpecil ency of those privileges being continued. Your Committee recommend these three questions to the ' te rious attention of the flouse, as bearing upon the general sub' ject referred to their consideration; and, in refe, core to the last, they are of opinion that the Ist Vict. c. 50, should b ° renewed for one year, and that Parliament should be placed $1 such a situation as to be free to adopt, in the next Ses;iorif such legislative treasures as, on deliberation, shall seem to he' most expedient. In the course of their inquiries, it had been strongly urged on the attention of your Committee that one part of the 1 0 _ in respect to joint-stock banks stands in need of immediatv amendment. By the general law of partnership, the common-law remedl for the recovery of debts which exist between party and part/ is not applicable in cases where the debt is contracted be: tween a partnership and one of the portners or sharcholder e , In such a case tho remedy is by proceect..7 Equity ; and such a remedy in the case of a Join;-stock 13 ,, a „ is so cumbrous, so complici ted, and so dilatory, as to ..!"r" ° adequate means for the recovery of a just debt. This in a Court n o l l , venience is not wholly imaginary, but from the evidence of A i _A" Broadbent, one of the Inspectors of the Northern *7 Central Bank, has already had most formidable and injur y ous conseque ices. Upwards of 400,000'. is stated to due to that Bank from its own shareholders. This sum ' 5 now practically irrecoverable at law ; and thus not only is that establishment precluded from winding up its 0 01 , affairs, but the rights of third parties may be cffecte;! most seriously. The inconvenience or danger extends much further ; because, if a similar defence were ra ised by debtors joint-stock banks generally, a most serious blow might he struck at commercial credit, likely to produce the most c hs il ' lamitous consequences. This state of things should not f O permitted to continue; but whilst your Committee are, opinion that a Bill to corr e ct thi s i nconven i ence s h ou ld be i n ' troduced with delay, they are unwilling that s uch a melts° , , should be permanent in its character, or s h ou ld b e i n f o rce re' a longer period than to the end of the next Session of PAO . ment. tah view wßeywhfootlloe o following in to g hbe je t e h ev i t s id course, the law respecting joint-5 0 e h banks mu s t b e b roug h t un d er ear l y cons i deration, which, ss."; a e s ne well e takento t i h n e proprietytne present of andc on s i f te r r l o : e l Sessions, your Committee consider highly desirable.
